Control and Maintenance System with Augmented Reality for a Stone Counter

Abstract:

In recent years technology has increased rapidly, and virtual environments and their applications in daily and industrial life are among the most developed fields. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that connects the real and digital worlds and adds information generated digitally on elements of a real environment, maximizing and enriching real-time information. This paper presents the development of a control and monitoring system using databases and maintenance using AR for a stone counter. The hardware used is low cost and free software is also used for easy access, in this way the system can be replicated by small companies. It is used the Unity software for creating the application, a microprocessor for the control, and a Bluetooth module for wireless communication with the application in the Android device. The control from the application provides additional and friendly information to the user; in addition, it enables higher control of the machine, and the status of the raw material is known through the database for better planning and optimization, achieving a reduction of costs.
